Saint Basil of Palenque; Historical and cultural experience

El Palenque de San Basilio, located 60 km from Cartagena, is a community of descendants of African maroons from the 17th century. Domingo Biohó was the mythical leader whose fierceness was reflected in the reports that the governors of the Province of Cartagena sent to the Crown. Since 1603, the flight of enslaved people from the city of Cartagena and its surroundings worried the authorities. The fugitives not only left with farming tools and firearms, but also founded towns in the region's inaccessible swamps. "Las Palenqueras" Due to its unique characteristics in its history, formation, culture and language, the Palenque has been declared by *Unesco* as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity *Ethno-tourist and cultural visit to San Basilio de Palenque*. Optional: Visit to San Jacinto (village of hammocks and crafts)
